Either Ricardo Montalbán or Walter Koenig (I forget which of them used to tell this story) head canons it that Khan had to use the (never seen) Enterprise toilets after Ensign Chekov when he was still a lower decker, and Chekov had used the last of the toilet paper, which is why Khan burnt his face into his memory.

Just because check off wasn’t on the bridge doesn’t mean that he wasn’t still part of the crew somewhere else on the ship.

Khan didn't know own how to use the three seashells?

And so Khan probably would have recognized anyone he had seen on the Enterprise then, even for a second. Actual episode elapsed time can be hours or days so he likely saw most of the crew.

This is how I make sense of it too. Kirk wasn’t going to put some fresh face on the bridge without serving with him for some time first.

Picard has her beat. Fucker put a kid in the pilots seat of the flagship. A kid who hadn’t passed the entrance exam for the academy. Nepotism rears its ugly head once again.

A kid who ended up transcending spacetime, let’s not forget. Harry Kim spent seven years as an ensign, so let’s not get ahead of ourselves…
And keep in mind that Janeway broke the Temporal Prime Directive so many times that enforcement agents had to come from the 29th century twice to stop her and one ended up going insane as a result and tried to erase her from history.
